DESCRIPTION: Carnival Beach House is an elegant three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath beachfront villa with a private pool. The home was built in 2006 and consists of a one-level main house plus a two-level, two-bedroom guest house located to the right of the main house. The pool is conveniently located off the deck of the main house and is also just a few steps from the guesthouse.
Carnival Beach was designed and built by Glen Speers, a prominent St. John designer/builder of classic Caribbean homes and Mongoose Junction. We wonder if you'll find lovelier stonework anywhere on St. John than what you'll see in Carnival Beach. The gorgeous stonewalls demonstrate that beautiful artwork hangs on a wall and sometimes on the wall itself. Another outstanding feature of Carnival Beach is the covered lanai (outdoor living room), which is furnished with premium indoor/outdoor furniture and offers a delightful place to relax outdoors while protected from the sun. Although the lanai is covered, there is also a large uncovered deck for sun lovers.
In both the main house and the guesthouse, the kitchen and bathroom cabinets and the screen doors were all made locally from Honduran mahogany. Mahogany trim abounds around the doors, floors, and ceiling, giving this modern-day home a classic feel. The island elegance continues in the exterior design, which includes terra cotta-tiled deck space and light fixtures made by St. John artist Donald Schnell.
The guest house boasts a nouveau two-story design with 2 studio suites. Guests staying in the top unit enter their suite from a landing, while those on the ground floor descend a set of exterior tiled stairs to their private entrance below. Both guest suites are a few steps from the pool and the main house.
A feature we know our guests are sure to welcome is the solar panels with a Tesla battery backup system. If the power goes out, the Tesla battery will kick in, so you will not be without power. This will be a welcomed amenity for those unexpected power outages.
If you are looking for an elegant home with beautiful views and water access, Carnival Beach House is the choice for you. It is perfect for honeymooners, couples, and families.
Carnival Beach House is one of four homes located on Klein Bay's pebble/sand beach. Klein Bay is a small, well-protected cove that is part of Rendezvous Bay on St. John's sunny south shore. There are no hotels, condos, or B&Bs in Klein Bay; only a few luxury vacation villas exist. The dead-end road that leads down to Carnival Beach ends two houses beyond Carnival, so there is very little vehicular traffic here, which creates an exceptionally peaceful and quiet neighborhood. The only noise you'll hear with regularity is the sweet sound of the surf gently breaking in your front yard and the soft trade winds blowing through the trees.
Carnival Beach House is unquestionably a beautiful villa in an exquisite setting. Although Carnival Beach has a villa on either side of the house, lush tropical vegetation and a well-designed landscaping plan create a setting with very good visual privacy. Carnival Beach faces south, so it is also a sun worshipper's villa, and the pool and decks are bathed in sunshine from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Carnival also offers discreet clothing-optional privacy for a full-body tan.
The pebble/sand beach at Klein Bay is more pebbles than sand, although this mixture differs from year to year, depending mainly on what the fall storms deposit or wash away. The shoreline is protected from heavy surf and strong winds by Ditleff Point, which is a peninsula that curves into the Caribbean and shelters Klein Bay. The small surf and crystal clear waters almost every day provide good swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and paddle boarding. Kayak and paddleboard rentals are available by the day or week in Cruz Bay, and they'll usually be delivered to your villa if rented for the week.
A 5-10 minute swim, snorkel, or paddle takes you to an even nicer white sand beach on Ditleff Point. Cruz Bay is only a 10-minute drive on paved roads. You rarely, if ever, see a tourist in Klein Bay unless they're also staying in a nearby vacation villa.
LIVING & DINING: The main house's great room is spacious and beautifully furnished. The doors along the front of the main house open and look out to the breathtaking view of Klein Bay. Nothing is more peaceful and inviting than opening the doors, looking out at the view, and letting the serenity of the surf relax you. The interior dining table seats 6, and there are 2 outside tables, each of which seats 4; one is located to the left of the living area, and the other is located just off the entrance to the guest house. The main living area of the home includes cable TV. Each studio suite also has its own comfortable living space and includes cable TV. WiFi internet access is provided so you can keep in touch with envious friends and family from your luxurious beachfront villa.
KITCHEN: The kitchen in the main house is well equipped and includes a side-by-side refrigerator and freezer, a four-burner glass-topped electric stove, a microwave, dishwasher, blender, toaster, and drip coffee maker. Both guest house bedroom suites have their own kitchenette, equipped with a built-in hot plate, microwave oven, small refrigerator, drip coffee maker, blender, and toaster. There is also a BBQ for grilling.
BEDROOMS: The bedroom in the main house is off the left side of the great room (looking at the water) and has a king-size sleigh bed and very handsome matching furniture, including a desk and a breakfast table for two. This bedroom opens to the private deck that also serves as the lanai (outdoor living room)
The two-bedroom suites in the guesthouse are similar in size and furnishings. Each is gracefully furnished with a queen bed and sitting area, and each opens to a private deck with ocean views, deck furniture, and an exterior table for two. The upper suite also includes a lanai (covered outdoor living room) off the entrance to the bedroom. The guest bedrooms are considered suites because they include a couch and interior table, a small kitchenette with a sink, a small refrigerator, a microwave, a coffeemaker, and a toaster. The three attractive bathrooms have similar appointments, such as mahogany vanities, tiled countertops, and showers. All three bedrooms are air-conditioned and include cable TV.
